Ageless Entrepreneur: Never Too Early, Never Too Late (The Entrepreneurial Edge, #3)

Ageless Entrepreneur offers a new perspective on the barriers to entry that young people face today in starting their careers as well as valuable insights into the possibilities for seniors, who all too often are being forced out of the work force when they can least afford it. Entrepreneurial guru Sam Macleod leads an improbable group of would be entrepreneurs into new challenges and unexpected alliances that revitalize their future. Spearheading the group is Sam's boyhood friend Nick, who like so many others has received the golden handshake prematurely. Throughout the narrative, qualities of an entrepreneur operating within the context of an economy burdened with barriers and limitations are brought out through discussion and a wide range of anecdotes. The story draws us right into the class as we share in the fears, hopes and challenges faced by the characters. The lessons provide a solid foundation for anyone considering a career as an entrepreneur or simply looking to make sound strategic decisions in managing their career, no matter what their age or circumstance.

The Everyday Entrepreneur returns with a course on going into business for budding entrepreneurs of early or later age. With his newest group of students, Sam zeroes in on the challenges facing aspiring business owners in their teen or senior years, the unique challenges they face, and what these mean for the entrepreneur. While younger entrepreneurs have trouble getting into the work force, elder businesspeople are being squeezed out before they are ready. The economic and social factors spurring both groups into entrepreneurship are sometimes inspiring, sometimes frustrating. As a senior, these hurdles are close to home for Sam, who shares his experience and wisdom about "sunrise and sunset" businesses.
